How Keen Is Your Observation

Which light is on top of the traffic light? Is it the Red or the
Green? Your first thought, probably is that this is an easy ques-
tion to answer. However, put yourself in this position—you are
on one of the current quiz shows that pays a lot of money for
correct answers. You must answer this question correctly to win
the top prize. Now then, which light is on top, the Red or the
Green?

if you have been able to picture yourself in the above posi-
tion, you are probably hesitating now, because you're not
really sure which light is on top, are you? If you are sure,
then you're one of the minority who has observed what
most people only see. There is a world of difference be-
tween seeing and observing; proven, of course, by the fact
that most of the people to whom I put the above question,
either give the wrong answer or are not sure. This, even
though they see the traffic lights countless times every day!
By the way, Red is always on top of the traffic light,
Green is always on the bottom. If there is a third color, it
is usually Yellow, for caution, and that one is always in the
center. If you were sure that Red was the correct answer, let
me see if I can't puncture your pride a bit with another ob-
servation test.
